Headlands Hotel @ Port Gaverne, Port Issac.
Closed 2010. After 22 years the owners decided to retire and sell up. Even when it was open it was a very outdated hotel. Approx 2013 an application was submitted to knock down and build new hotel. As with all these types applications they seem to...

Me and 4 friends drove an hour to South Devon on what was just a photo lead I found on someone’s Facebook, and when we got there we weren’t disappointed, this stunning hotel was what we found.
Although gaining access to the actual main building itself posed multiple challenges and was hugely...

I visited in October 2018 but only now been able to post. While looking around I bumped into the police as I was coming out. They where nice and let me finish looking around. The tunnels are regularly used by drug users so the police walk through most of the time.
3 main areas to this site...

Hello I'm very new to urban exploring but want to do more of it in the Devon and Cornwall area. Today for my first place I went to Safari House which I loved exploring and looking around. Will definitely go back.
Looking for new locations to explore.

I visited in September 2018 and never got round to uploading these pictures. It has been posted since then by others. Each time more damaged. I think most the tankards have gone as well.
Small cottage. Just a two up two down. A Rover car buried outside under brambles. Large garage with another...

Safari House, also known as Artists House and Glitterball House.
Hard to find, hidden off an old road, impassable by car and invisible to Google’s aerial view.
I have never seen so many squirrels. There must of been 20 just on each tree. All looking at me, squealing like the sound of a dog...

HISTORY
"The Wenford Dries were built in the early part of the 20th century (probably post-1907) to serve the china clay pit at Stannon on Bodmin Moor some 7.2km to the north east. Liquid china clay was carried in a pipeline from the pit to the settling tanks behind the dries. The dries operated...

EXPLORATION
After seeing some other forums for this place, I decided to go there myself, on a cold foggy morning, which really helped set the tone, and hide from the workers...
I visited this place in hope to find a particular warehouse/factory that is no longer in use, however this aim was not...

HISTORY
Built at the beginning of the 20th century to process raw china clay following extraction, Wenford Dries is a huge derelict china clay factory in the quiet countryside of Devon. The building is reported to be the longest Listed building in the UK (over 500m long) and has been derelict...

First visit and upload to this website.
Decided to go to a fort that hasn't had many posts about it. We managed to look around the outside of the fort, finding many old buildings and rooms of such.
However, we did manage to see a corner of the fort that seemed to look unusual, so decided to...

I just found out that Drakes Island fortress, in Plymouth Devon, has just gone up for sale with an asking price of £6m. A few explorers have posted some great reports of this beautiful and historic place, sadly I have not been able to visit myself but have sailed around it many times during my...

Currently touring the country with exploring with josh and exploring with Cody from youtube, and I took them to this neat little resort. The owners live on site and own a restuarant next to it, so we went inside and bought some food and chatted them up. After getting on their good side they...

Hey - I’m pretty new to urban exploring and I’ve found passion in it, I’ve been looking through the threads and some of you have found some incredible places! I’ve been to a few locations (mostly Devon) but finding it extremely hard to find things that still exist (Ilford polish camp, wall park...

Just driving by my gf spotted it, so I went by to take some snap shots. There's a couple ways in, i just had a quick wander around the 5 buildings, though this is all I had time to snap as I was omw somewhere.

Aalen House in Okehampton, Devon. It was a residential home, privately owned. From what I found online catered for 32 people. Found some info in the Okehampton Times newspaper in 2008 saying they will be investing £7million to redevelop the nursing home by PSP Healthcare who owns the building...

Injustice House in Whitstone, Cornwall.
It is basically a garage/outbuilding which the old man lived in. He lived a simple life, there is no electricity here and went toilet outside. No kitchen. He lived here for many years into his 90’s. He still owns the building. He is now 103 years old and...

I honestly don't know much about this home, according to the last dates I could find on the location, the last living occupant Pamela Bates passed away in December 2008 and it has been abandoned since, as well as the husband Bernard Bates had passed a couple years before. Was an awesome snoop...

I couldn’t find a great deal online talking about the history of the site but I did get this:
The Clay Factory originally started life as a china clay works at the turn of the 1900’s – the clay was pumped down to the site from Dartmoor for drying and processing before being transported by train...

Today I decided to pay darkies tunnel a visit with two non 28D members. I don’t have any pictures of the end as sadly my phone battery got too low, but I thought what I had was still worthy of a report.
Darkies tunnel (otherwise know as devonport and ford) is two disused railway tunnels that...

The beautiful Blackborough House located in the small hamlet of Blackborough. It was built between the early to mid 1800's and is a Grade 2 listed country house. It is currently labelled as a semi-derelict but I can confirm that it is way worse than "Semi-Derelict" The floors are collapsing or...
